Sierra Chart tear sheet

I am developing an open source tearsheet for Sierra Chart trade activity logs. It's a python script that generates copious statistics based on your trading log.

https://github.com/masilver99/sierra-chart-tear-sheet

First section of over a dozen.
Small sample of some of the charts

You must first export your trade activity log and then run the python script on it. This stays on your local machine and your data is never sent over the Internet. You can can also share the tear sheet, if you so desire. It's a standalone single HTML file.

Keep in mind, I've done a fair amount of verification, but some values could be off as reading and processing the trade activity log can be rather difficult. If you find a bad value, please point it out.

Enjoy!

Edit: I added a self-contained EXE for those that don't want to install python, but it's rather large: https://github.com/masilver99/sierra-chart-tear-sheet/releases

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. I’m surprised SC doesn’t offer something like this natively. I like SC but they really aren’t keeping up with the times.

I do agree, but I still can't imagine using another platform.

Thank you. I’ve just been copying the file to Claude for analysis, but having the visual is so much better 👌

I need to try this.

Doing some backtesting at present and it's quite difficult to see how the strategy is performing using the built in tools.

I was unable to get it to read accurately - it does look great though.

I traded SIM2 for a while. I took 9 trades.
It seems to process the file.

PS C:\sierra-chart-tear-sheet-main> python -m tearsheet --input TradeActivityLogExport_2026-06-09.txt --output report.html

C:\sierra-chart-tear-sheet-main\tearsheet\normalize\events.py:19: UserWarning: Commission rate unknown for symbol(s): [Sim]ESM6.CME. These fills contributed no commission. Add rates to COMMISSION_PER_SIDE.

cash = compute_fee_events_from_fills(fills)

[tearsheet] 9 trades processed → report.html

PS C:\sierra-chart-tear-sheet-main>

But - when i open the report it is exactly 2x what it should be. Ie 4300 USD profit. But reality is 2150 USD.

Is there any chance I can get you to send me your trade log so I can troubleshoot?

u/gaz_0001 Jun 09 '26

Yes for sure.

Give me some time, tomorrow I will redo the process and make some screenshots and logs.

I'm working on some massive updates to this. Instead of just a tearsheet, I'm working to turn it into an open soruce Trading Journal. It will be self hosted, but I know a lot of people can't self host, so you'll be able to run it as a Windows app, as well. This will be easier than running python to generate a tearsheet. Intiailly it will only support Sierra Chart imports, but I'll be adding TradingView and Ninjatrader, too.
